Leeds United and Derby County will face each other at Elland Road in the Championship on Tuesday evening.
Leeds will take on Derby at Elland Road in the Championship on Tuesday evening.
The West Yorkshire outfit will head into the match against the Rams on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Sheffield United at home in the league.
Playing at home will give Thomas Christiansen’s side an advantage, but former Leeds midfielder Prutton does not expect the hosts to win.
The former Nottingham Forest and Sheffield Wednesday midfielder believes that Tuesday evening’s match between Leeds and Derby will end in a draw.
Prutton has also observed that the Whites have lost a bit of their early-season swagger.
“A few weeks ago this would have been a nailed on home win but I’m not so sure now,” Prutton wrote on Skysports.com.
“Leeds have lost their last two games at home now and seem to have lost a bit of their early-season swagger.
“Derby are on the edge of the play-offs after a good run of form, which proves in this league that all it takes is a few wins or defeats to change things completely. But I think this will be a draw.”
A footnote added: “Prutton predicts: 1-1.”
Leeds have a good team, but their recent performances and results have been disappointing.
Derby are in good form at the moment and are very much in the race for the Championship playoffs.
While the Rams will fancy their chances of picking up a point at Elland Road, given the support Leeds will have at home, they may not end up winning the match on Tuesday evening.
